Love Quarrel

Chapter 63: Hugs & Tears

Ford's PoV

I lost all my hopes after I had been at the Guidance Office. Halos magdamag kong pinag-isipan lahat ng sasabihin ko kay Auntie pero nabaliwala lang 'yon lahat.

We had an argument a day after what happened from the Gymnasium. Mrs. Flores wants to expelled Hazel and Lean for two weeks. She even gave Patricia a punishment to take her name off the Top 10 list. And she's thinking twice about her other punishment for the rest of us.

This is bad. I can't even save all of us from this d*mn severe punishments. Yung mga hindi dapat maparusahan ay siya pang nakasama sa parusa.

"Kuya Ford..."

Umupo si Yuna sa tabi ko kaya ginulo ko yung buhok niya. She and the boys are inside my mansion. The rest of the cupcakes are in the hospital to look for Mabel.

"I'm not mad. I just can't keep blaming myself because of others' punishments. Lean should be the only one to be punished. Not us! Hindi man lang nakinig si Auntie sa akin! Pero nagsasabi ako ng totoo!"

I almost smashed a figurine I accidentally snatched from the tea table. Dennis saw me and he quickly calmed me down. The others were only quiet on their seats.

I really need to calm down. Hindi ako dapat magwala dahil lang dito.

"Ford, huwag mong hayaan na kontrolin ka ng 'yong galit. Baka mabasag mo yang figurine. Di ba mahalaga 'yan sa mga magulang mo?"

I look at the figurine and I feel pity for it. Naalala ko na isang beses kong nasabihan si Patch dahil muntikan niyang maibato kay Mabel ito.

Speaking of her... bigla kong naalala ang isa niyang kaibigan.

"Was Hazel in the hospital?" I asked.

"Ang alam ko nasa bahay lang siya nila. Pareho sila ni Celestine na wala sa ospital."

I quickly got the keys from the glass table and throw the other one to Dennis.

"Guard the house for a while. May pupuntahan lang ako."

Tumango siya sa akin saka lumabas ng mansyon. As I opened the door of my car, I saw the wall where Hazel was always loittering. She may not be feeling well today. Not of the scratches she got from a fight, but because of being too worried for her friends.

After a short ride, I'm finally infront of Hazel's house. Should I call her name or pull the bell's string first?

Habang iniisip ko ang dapat unang gawin, napagdesisyunan
ko na lang na pumasok basta-basta sa gate nila. It's open and I think I do have a right to trespass since Hazel was the first one who's doing this on my mansion.

Pagkapasok ko sa bahay nila, sobrang dilim ng salas. I climb upstairs and saw the door of their terrace that was widely open. I entered the terrace and saw her sleeping.

"Hazel..."

Naalimpungatan siya ng tawagin ko ang pangalan niya. Nang makita niya ako, bigla siyang nagulat at agad na itinutok sa akin ang hawak na pencil.

Pero dahan-dahan niya itong ibinaba at huminga ng malalim bago magsalita.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"Why did you not go with the others in the hospital?"

"I still had to find a peaceful place to relax myself. Masyado ng maraming nangyari sa halos isang linggo. At kahit nakalipas na ang ilang araw mula sa away, hindi pa rin ako makatulog ng maayos dahil sa paghihiganti ni Lean."

Hazel was not harsh with her words today. I could tell to myself that she's still too worried on everything that was happened. Weekend na ngayon pero parang sariwa pa rin sa kanya ang lahat ng mga nangyari.
